I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling to various parts of the globe with them and most importantly, playing a fool with my two little kids. Whenever I am not playing with the kids, I love to play with my business ideas and build one of the biggest business empires in the world! Currently serving as - Managing Director at inlingua Bangalore, Director at R S Electronics Limited

I also like to help people around me, in whatever little ways I can, through whatever means I could. I believe that the basis of life is freedom (freedom from all kinds of worries) and the purpose of life is joy. GCF certainly set me free and am happy today. My only goal in life is to see freedom and happiness, in each and every person around me!!

I am a very passionate person with diverse interests ranging from wealth management, adventure outings to experimenting and playing around with the entrepreneurial bug which bites me every now and then. To make it big in the world of business and rub shoulders with the top business leaders in the country is my goal.

Otherwise, I am a happy person and always grateful about the life I am blessed with, be it my parents or the two wonderful sisters, or the power which lies within ourselves. Would love to use that power and be the author of my own life. Love spending time with likeminded people and bring in a tinge of humour and spice up life in my own way. Continuous learning and growth is what I believe in and never let go of an opportunity which could bring about some change within myself, however small it could be. GCF is one place which has given me the venue to continually stretch and challenge myself and learn a lot from fellow members, thus providing the platform to grow myself.

Gladson Johnson

A passionate Sports Physiotherapist by profession. Nothing passionate me more than my work because it is serving mankind. Currently serving as the Director of my own organization “Attitude Prime” in Bangalore. I am equally passionate about music which I would term it as the “Language of the soul”. My hobby is martial arts, and I am an avid marathon runner. I like to help people around me by alleviating their pains, both physical and mental.

In an era where information and communicative technology has grown massive much of us are still victims of ill communicative & interpersonal relationship skills. GCF is certainly a great and blessed platform to improve ones confidence level and identify the hidden magic that lies within through improvisation of communication and interpersonal skills.

Born almost 5 decades ago, I am a Goan, married to a Punjabi and am a domiciled Kannadiga (here from 1961). My kids - Craig (21) and Nicole (almost 18) are warm and loving, and sometimes test me ... to see if I can practice what I preach.

I have thrived in four different professions - Merchant Navy Officer (1977 - 84) Builder (1984 - 1998) Corporate Trainer (1998 - 2007...). Husband of Anita (1984 - present).

I motivate people to move higher, and faster. I enjoy training the corporate world in Communication, Attitude Enhancement, Leadership and Team Building. I strive to build a better world, and love writing articles on Communication, Relationships, Stress Management and Attitude Enhancement.
